Comment
North America's heaviest land animal is the bison, known commonly as the American bison. For millennia, the bison and its ancestors dominated much of central North America, from what is now Alaska through the Canadian prairies and American Midwest, as far south as central Mexico and as far east as near the Appalachians of the United States.Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a bison, an iconic Canadian animal, in a natural habitat setting. The design is engraved in exquisite detail, highlighting the texture and depth of the bison's fur, and the surrounding landscape. The coin's high silver content and detailed design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and nature enthusiasts alike.
